Firefox domin Android Community Forum

Hi!

Just thought I'd report this because it appears to be a consistent, reasonably long-standing issue (months) on a popular news site. Or is it "just me"?

Website: https://www.selfgem.com/en/products/tooth-gem-kits

Expected behaviour: I am able to open links and download files on this website as backround tabs and continue browsing.

Actual behaviour: 1. After a couple are opened, Firefox for Android hangs for very close to 30 seconds then does a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs and continues to function until I next try to open another background tab from that website. 2. During the hang tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages are not repainted and no taps events work. 3. At the end of this hang time, the pages appear to redraw from scratch and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of whichever tab I was looking at.

It is 100% repro for me -- long-press fails when attempting to open the 3rd background tab, but repaint failure occurs earlier. There is something toxic happening.

Curiously, when I next view my Android Home screen, there is some sort deep refresh/repaint, as if it has been swapped-out or GC'd etc.

e.g. Is there some massive memory blow-out happening?

Context/workarounds: 1. I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guess account on the phone. 2. I have no addons installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behavior. This is FF Android specific

Thanks!

Hi. I realised that a couple weeks ago bookmarks on my Samsung S24 Ultra stopped syncing. Bookmarks added, edited, moved or deleted on the phone since then don't change elsewhere and vice versa. Other devices (two Windows computers) sync just fine. I changed nothing in the settings nor did any other important changes I'm aware of. Passwords, history and tabs sync correctly. I tried going with this on my Android Firefox app: uncheck syncing everything -> log out from Firefox account -> force stop Firefox -> clear app cache -> restart phone -> start Firefox -> log in to Firefox Account -> check syncing everything -> force sync. Didn't help. I didn't clear app data or reinstall the app because I would lose all the bookmarks I added there recently. The only way I see is to look through all the bookmarks in my phone and add them manually on the PC, then reinstall the app - which would be as painstaking as it sounds. I switched to Firefox Beta and it syncs just fine (some minor changes I've noticed compared to the basic app are rather annoying but negligible). Any tips? Cheers, Rafau

Greetings!

So every time Firefox has an update for my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, 64GB SM-X200, Android 14, One UI 6.1) the settings always, ALWAYS reset. I have to go back in and change everything back to my preferences. I've cleared cache, restarted who knows how many times and it still happens.

I have Firefox on other devices, both Samsung and otherwise, and it doesn't happen anywhere but my tablet.

Ideas? Suggestions?

When trying to add my boarding pass to Google Wallet for my flight it fails. There is no error screen or popup, just loads to a white page and then redirects back to my original page with boarding pass as if it succeeded but nothing was added to google wallet.

Android: OS 15 FF Version: 140.0.3 (Build #2016099943)

Ho un Samsung S21. Da quando firefox si e' aggiornato alla versione 140.0.3 non torna piu' alle pagine precedenti, ma va direttamente alla prima pagina che ho cercato. Questo non succedeva prima, come posso risolvere questo problema. Grazie

I just intalled firefox for androind form the google play store on my samsung tablet, model SM-T713, running android 7.0, and it seems to have rendering issues on most websites i visit(example image attached)

Reinstalling the app has not solved it, factory resseting the device has not solved it, and no other apps, including browsers, show this issue, exept any version of firefox.

I was told by the staff on the gplay page to report this issue here.

Thank you.

On at one website I log into, in the field where I enter my username and password, the font color blends in with background so much, it's almost impossible to read what I typed. The background is white, and the font is very close to White. When I invert the colors, the background is black, and the font is nearly black. I have to use a 5x magnifier to see what's written in the fields because there is so little contrast between the font and the field.

I've adjusted color inversion, transparency and blur, high contrast fonts, etc. nothing improves it.

This problem behaves the same way on both my Samsung A12 and A15 phones.  But, it looks perfectly fine using Chrome browser!

I used to have Bookmarks in a particular order based upon the most frequently used ones vs others plus, I also had rhem grouped according to websites associated with them and their relevance.

Now, I can no longer edit their order back to what I had before.

The current selection for sorting does have any way to customize them either.

Is there a work around or app that will provide the capability to order them as 'I' need them to be?

I am running on android 15 v7. Samsung S22 Ultra Firefox current version - 139.0

Please, as of late last year the "Bookmarks" have been all over the place. They just, recently, shifted around again. It's maddening! Can you not fix this annoying problem?
